AIBU to leave my wedding rings at home for holiday?

Leave my wedding ring at home when I’m on holiday?
No, I even wear mine when I’m in the supermarket, bet none of you would dare risk that.

I wear cheap alternative if I’m travelling to destinations where expensive jewellery makes me a target. Other than that don’t worry.

I wear my wedding ring constantly but it’s just a plain band. When we go on holiday I take my engagement ring but put it in the safe during the day and just wear it in the evening. I very rarely wear it at home due to my job so only wear it when going out so it’s nice when we go on holiday to get to wear it more often.

👆🏻this… I bought a fake the first year and it broke whilst abroad when I was working out in the on site gym! Ever since I realised that my real ring (given I wear it in the gym and lifting at home) is far more hardy and I need to just continue wearing it.

I get it checked every year and polished by the local jeweller who designed it with my husband and built it by hand and the lady there said to my husband who was a bit upset his had a scratch that wouldn’t entirely polish out ‘each little mark is a sign of the memories you made together’ and it changed my view of my wedding/engagement rings substantially.

The only time I would remove now is if we were in a country where wearing it would be considered unwise due to crime levels.

I'd need to chop my fat chipolata finger off to leave mine at home 😂

Literally never take mine off - regardless of swimming or other activity. If it’s so loose it might fall off, maybe look at getting it resized?

i don’t waste money on “fake” rings - i just wear a plain gold band on holiday and leave anything quite expensive or with stones at home

I always wear mine in the pool and sea. I did lose the diamond from my engagement ring a few years ago...was out and about on my daily business at home, not sure exactly when it was lost. It was covered by my home insurance so was replaced.

I work in healthcare so can only wear my wedding ring for work. So when on holiday I enjoy wearing my other rings. Regularly swim in the sea, pool, sailing etc with rings on when on holiday.
What is the point in having them and not wearing them?!
Sometimes at weekends I wear my rings and might forget to take off to go swimming locally. But they fit well so do not fall off. Always wear my wedding ring even if swimming etc. Will remove if climbing due to degloving risk but can't think of another time I'd remove. Quite difficult to get off!

I have worn a fake one when I am worried about losing or damaging my real ones. I fidget with my hands a bit and feel strange without some ring on that finger now.

I just leave my actual wedding ring at home. I rarely remember to put it on anyway. If I have costume jewellery for holidays for going out.

I don't take mine off but it's only worth a few hundred quid. I'm not a jewellery person. Intrigued on buying a 'holiday' set of wedding/engagement rings though! I'd just not wear them for a couple of weeks.

I wear one simple ring and leave my £££ jewellery at home. I hide them in very clever places that no burglar will ever find.

On holiday now and a few days ago I took off my rings off for fear of them coming off when swimming with my family. I have a wedding ring with stones, engagement ring and an eternity ring and never take them off normally but as I was in the pool I could just picture them coming loose.

I'll leave them home next time.

I wear my wedding, engagement and eternity ring all the time, they never come off (married almost 20 years). I swim 3 x a week, own and ride horses. I don’t even think about them coming off.

I have a £20 plain band for holidays. Too scared I’d lose my rings!

My ring is antique gold and I take it off for swimming and anything likely to damage it. Don’t bother with a stunt ring, what’s the point?

Yet another thread where people are bizarrely sneery about any habits different from their own.

I actually think my rings are safer on my fingers than left at home in case we have a break-in. But I don't go to dangerous countries and I don't swim in the sea. And my rings aren't even worth four figures.

I wear my wedding ring and engagement ring every day.
to be blunt I’d have to have my finger removed to get it off!! … have none of you gained any weight?!

I do also swim three times a week and it’s still perfectly in tact! … 18 years later.

do you take fake cheap husbands on your posh holidays?! & have cupboards full of best linen and crockery you don’t use?

This thread makes me feel like I come from a parallel universe! I’m not married but I’ve never liked the feeling of rings on my hand so I never wear any. If DP and I got married it wouldn’t even occur to me to have a ring. I don’t think anyone’s ever looked at me or talked to me differently because I haven’t got a ring on? I often have DP and/or kid in tow with me so it’s if like I get chatted up!

Maybe if I did wear a ring other people would treat me differently in some magical way? Would I feel like a character out of a sixties movie being treated like a Proper Married Lady? I’m totally intrigued now!

I don’t take my engagement , wedding ring or watch on holidays. I have other rings I use instead as I’ve got used to wearing them & use a swim watch. I think it’s just what you feel comfortable with

So do I. Mine doesn't ever slip off while swimming or ever. It is quite a snug fit.
